She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work also includes aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and other practical life strains.
Susan uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen and understand each person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems repeating.
Her sessions can include mindfulness practices and brief, goal-focused strategies when people want quicker tools to manage symptoms. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when someone needs help clarifying goals and taking concrete steps forward. The overall emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than theory-heavy explanations.
Susan has worked with people facing life transitions, workplace stress, grief and end-of-life concerns, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also has experience with first responder issues, seasonal mood changes, and communication problems rooted in family of origin patterns.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Susan often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the client, helping them set their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their situation and goals. That collaborative planning means techniques can shift over time as needs and priorities change.
The original biography notes a preference for live video or phone. If you plan to arrange sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a phone check-in can be shorter and simpler during a work break, while video can allow for more direct visual connection when discussing emotional material.
